Executive summary: The Invisible Government Journalist for the New York Herald Tribine, he and Thomas B. Ross achieved some success with their The U-2 Affair (1962). CIA Director John McCone became alarmed at galley sheets he obtained from Random House of the two's upcoming book, The Invisible Government (1964), and began attempts to suppress the work. The book documented various naughtiness of the military-industrial complex, in particular the 1953 overthrow of Mohammed Mossadegh in Iran, the overthrow of Guatamala's government, and the Bay of Pigs.
